  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help to create a crispy crust on the potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Flip the potatoes occasionally: This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Add the butter and garlic: This will add flavor and richness to the potatoes.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley: This will add a pop of color and freshness.
